Rick Yancey

The Others know that as long as there are humans who love, there will be humans who hate. And so the Others know that as long as they take our loved ones from us, we will hate them for it. And hate is a powerful weapon.

The only thing I ever wanted was to be happy. But if I couldn’t be happy, I could at least be safe.

I don’t care what you say. I don’t care what you do. I’m going to be there anyway. I’m going to live through this. And when it’s all over, I’m still going to be here, standing.

I may have been broken, but I was still me. I was still alive. And as long as I was alive, I could fight.

We're here, and then we're gone, and it's not about the time we're here, but what we do with the time.

Sometimes in my tent, late at night, I think I can hear the stars scraping against the sky.

But if I'm it, the last of my kind, the last page of human history, like hell I'm going to let the story end this way.

It's like being in love, discovering your best friend.

I may be the last one, but I am the one still standing. I am the one turning to face the faceless hunter in the woods on an abandoned highway. I am the one not running but facing. Because if I am the last one, then I am humanity. And if this is humanity's last war, then I am the battlefield.

The thing about killing is you can't do it without getting your hands dirty.

So now I'm looking at her, and she's asking me with her eyes if I'm going to kill her, and I think I'm probably going to have to kill her. And I think I'm probably going to deserve it.

You know how sometimes you tell yourself that you have a choice, but really you don't have a choice? Just because there are alternatives doesn't mean they apply to you.
